What command did you use, exactly, to try the uninstall? 'rpm -e xf86-corefonts' should work, while 'rpm -e xf86-corefonts-0.1-5.noarch.rpm', or variations on that will not. The rpms work here, and I can't duplicate this behavior. The xf86-corefonts package installs the actual MS font files and the install script. The fonts are extracted and made available to the system via the install script. Uninstalling the package removes the script, the MS font.exe files, and the docs. If you have run the install script, uninstalling the package does not remove the installed fonts. The installed fonts will be found in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ Hope that helps, - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj2aUYAACgkQn/07WoAb/SuJmwCeOV6c8i9BusfZhu+l9tixPgT5 bsMAnjgYU55AR0xtg8EmaIyJcfFIQ1v1 =i6Pd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
